So Cooper didn’t get caught in the face there? Jesus it’s bad enough this clickbait site goading it and the other pr1ck on Twitter at it too with the keyboard warriors calling Johnny a tramp

Hit in the face? Not in the video I’m watching. Cooper has form. Don’t like the way he plays the game sometimes. If Dean Rock’s da was on the pitch he’d have pulled him up, hit him a slap and told him to get on with it. And rightly so.

Jim Gavin might be achieving what most managers of successful teams can’t, to keep winning while introducing the next generation of players into the team. Somebody mentioned seven of the team yesterday being 24 or under, that’s remarkable.

Of course you don’t Alan - he’s from Na Fianna. He most certainly gets caught in the face in that clip and was clearly treated for it

I think it was the back of the head, not the face. But the whole world can see McManus swing and Cooper being hit, I am not sure where the controversy is. If people thing that he shouldn’t have went down, they should ask McManus to take a swing at them and see how it goes.

Cooper is one of the toughest men I have ever seen on a field, if he went down he was hurt.

YTrue. But back to the game I was very impressed with the defending and in particular Mick Fitz. defending was very disciplined. The pace of the team overall is phenomenal. Another big plus for me was O’Gara won some great ball and again was disciplined, felt he deserved a free as he was pulling the trigger on goal, was pushed by the Monaghan defender.

Berno tried very hard and was a tad unlucky with some of his shot selection.
